OVERVIEW
Active-Semi’s HYDRA-X10 development platform is a complete hardware solution enabling users not only to
evaluate the PAC5210 device, but also develop power applications revolving around this powerful and
versatile Cortex M0 based microcontroller. The module contains a PAC5210 power application microcontroller
and all the necessary circuitry to properly energize the MCU and its internal peripherals once power is
applied.
To aid in the application development The HYDRA-X10 offers access to each and every one of the PAC5210
device’s signals by means of a series of female header connectors. Whereas the HYDRA-X10 module is
referred to as the HYDRA-X Body, subsequent daughter card modules can be interfaced through these
female connectors by merging both boards together. Throughout the rest of this documentation, said
attachable daughter cards will be referred to as Heads.
The HYDRA-X10 Body also contains all the necessary circuitry to connect the module to a PC computer
through a conventional USB port which can then be used in the communication efforts by taking advantage of
the PAC5210’s UART interface. Graphical User Interface (GUI) software suites can then be used to externally
control particular application’s features.
The final block within the HYDRA-X10 Body is a complete Serial Wire Debug (SWD) module which allows the
microcontroller to be both programmed and debugged in real time. This SWD debugger block follows the
CoLinkEx architecture and is compatible with the CooCox Integrated Development Environment (IDE).
Both the USB to UART and SWD debugger can be disconnected from the PAC5210 device in case the user
wishes to utilize a different means of serial communications or SWD debugging.

Power Input
Power to the Hydra-X10 Body module can be applied to the J7 barrel connector or to the J5 female header
connector’s VIN and GND terminals. Power to the module should not exceed 52V.
The barrel connector power input is protected against voltage reversal. However, the VIN input at the J5
connector is not. Heads interfacing to the HYDRA-X10 should observe correct voltage polarity.
Barrel Connector J7 correct polarity is with the center pin connected to VIN and the shell connected to GND.
Figure 3 Barrel Connector J7 Polarity
The HYDRA-X10 is optimized to operate with voltages ranging from 16V to 52V. When the VIN input voltage
goes above 16V, the system exits UVLO protection and all subsystems, including voltage regulators, analog
front end and microcontroller, are enabled. When an operational voltage is applied, LED D2 will light up. This
is the LED which notifies VSYS (5V) rail is up and running. 3.3V and 1.8V regulators will also be operating at
this point in time. Module is ready for use.
Operating the HYDRA-X10 Body With 12V VIN
Although the PAC5210 device is optimized to operate at higher than 12V voltages, it is still possible to
operate the module with voltages in between 12V and 16V. Care must be taken, however, not to exceed the
16V mark.
In order to operate the module at these lower voltages, the user must apply a short between the VHM and VP
terminals. This tells the system not to use the Buck regulator. The 12V applied by the user at the VIN
terminal, is then used to generate 5V, 3.3V and 1.8V.

LED’s
The HYDRA-X10 module incorporates a small number of LEDs for diagnostic purposes. These LED functions
cannot be controlled by the user application. If the user requires the usage of LEDs, these can be added to
the available GPIO resources.
The following table shows the available LEDs and their associated diagnostic function.

SWD Debugging
The HYDRA-X10 module comes equipped with a fully operational and ready to be used CoLinkEx compatible
SWD debugger. User can utilize this link to download code to the PAC5210 device through the CooCox IDE
or CoFlash FLASH loader application. Both of these applications, along with the CoLinkEx USB driver, can be
downloaded from the www.coocox.org website.
In the event the user desired to utilize a different debugger, connector J1 offers access to the PAC5210 SWD
lines. The CoLinkEx debugger must be separated. Separation can be obtained by flipping the S2 DIP
switches 3 and 4 to the OFF position.

The integrated SWD module is powered from the PAC5210’s 3.3V regulator.

Description
Used to program U3 microcontroller with CoLinkEx SWD firmware. In Factory use only.
SWD MCU Reset Push Button
The S1 push button resets the SWD MCU. In the event SWD communications are not operational while all
voltages are present, pushing the button may restore SWD functionality.
NOTE: It is highly recommended the JP1 to never be populated with a shunt. Doing so will configure the SWD
MCU to behave like an USB storage device. This mode is only meant to be employed when programming the
SWD MCU with the CoLinkEx firmware.

Serial Communications
The HYDRA-X10 module also contains a fully operational USB to UART serial communications link the user
can utilize to communicate with the PAC5210’s serial port. This connection is enabled by default at the
factory. In the event the user desires to utilize a different serial communications source, the S2 DIP switch
must be configured to separate the USB 2 UART resource from the PAC5210 microcontroller.
Figure 5 depicts how to flip the S2 DIP switches 1 and 2 depending on which UART serial communications
source is to be employed.

HYDRA-X10 SETUP
The setup for the HYDRA-X10 Body module requires up to three simple connections.
1. Connect the VIN power source via barrel connector J7. When VIN power is present, the LED D3 will
light up. If VIN voltage is larger than 16V, the PAC5210’s Multi Mode Power Manager will be engaged
and the VSYS (5V) regulator will be enabled. This event will result in LED D2 lighting up.
2. Connect the USB Serial Communications to J8: ensure the board’s USB cable is connected to a PC
computer. LED D1 will light up when the connection is made.
3. Connect the USB SWD to J9. Ensure the board’s USB cable is connected to a PC computer. Coocox
IDE will signal connection status.
